SUBJECT: NOTE FROM ME: If anyone knows them, would you please send them this message? Thanks.
Could you please get a message to Choreographers Michelle Chandonnet & Marc Archambault for me. I have been trying to get the { remix } version of Janie Frickie’s song He’s A Heartache. I have tried so many ways and asked many other choreographers if they could help me. I would like to take their partner dance to a workshop, but need the remix version of the song. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
